FAMILY OATHS
1767
“If any one of you remains adamant in his oath concerning his family this is more sinful for him in the estimation of Allah than if he makes amends in the prescribed way by Allah, the Exalted.”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
SLIP IN ONE'S OATHS
Allah, the Exalted says:
“Allah will not take you to account
for a slip in your oaths.
But He will take you to account for the oaths
which you solemnly swear.
Its expiation is the feeding of ten needy (people)
with such food as you normally offer
to your own people;
or the clothing (of them);
or the freeing of a slave.
He who does not have must fast three days.
That is the expiation of your oaths
when you have sworn;
but keep your oaths......” 5:89 Koran
